Thank you Zdeněk Wagner and Simon Cozens for your immediate help. Very interesting suggestions you made. I never cared much about font questions before. I even did not know, where to look for them on my Mac ...
Yes. It is the font Apple Color Emoji. But all tricks (but I dont know many) to make it render with this font and xelatex were not working. Also the suggested Symbola-font is not doing it. Is there an easy way, to map the codepoints with little icons? For example: UTF8 F0 9F 98 98 (U+1F618 (U+D83D U+DE18)) goes with this icon etc ...
